InternetYahoo! Co-Founder Jerry Yang Leaves Company
Yahoo! announced today that Co-Founder Jerry Yang has left the company’s board and all other positions. This is the man’s second stint at the company he helped found, with the his second chance not working out as well as he probably hoped it would. The company is spiraling out of control, losing market share in search (not that it does it’s own search anyways), and has lost direction in the recent years with the success of Google. There have been rumors of Yahoo’s sale to different companies, be it the infamous Microsoft deal that failed and might still be rekindled, or a sale to Chinese search giant Alibaba. Even Google has been mentioned as a potential suitor.

InternetNBC to Stream SuperBowl Online
Can’t watch the SuperBowl this year? Don’t have time to catch it on the TV SuperBowl Sunday? NBC is there for you. According to the NFL, NBC will be streaming the annual American World Football Championship online, for free. The league also announced that it will be streaming this season’s other post-season games as well.
This is a big step forward for streaming TV online, since right now the biggest reason not to cut out cable is the lack of online sports. If the NFL (by far the US’ biggest sports league by numbers), starts streaming more games online for free, we should start to see other leagues and shows start to do so as well. Which will mean I might finally get rid of my 150 per month cable bill.
The bad news of course is streaming takes a lot of bandwidth, which Cable companies restrict and place limits on. If you are running out of bandwidth for the month, but you still want to watch the SuperBowl, you may have problems.

InternetFirefox 9 Available Now, Brings Gestures to the Mac
Firefox 9.0 is available for download now, a day earlier than expected. The update includes Type Inference, a feature that is claimed to boost JavaScript performance by 30%, and improved theme integration (whatever that means) and two finger swipe navigation for OS X Lion. Frankly, I stopped using Firefox a couple of years ago when Chrome came out, but there are still plugins that only work on Firefox that I have to use, so it is nice that they are finally bringing gestures to the Mac version.
